Synopsis
This lively, engaging book helps readers to see people of other cultures in their own terms as it incorporates these outstanding features: (a) discusses anthropological concepts and theory in the context of detailed and concrete ethnographic situations; (b) uses an inductive, problem-solving approach; readers are placed in puzzling situations that can be unraveled by using particular concepts; (c) focuses on the traditional concepts and assumptions of cultural anthropology; (d) incorporates data and examples from our own society (e.g., the culture of tramps, American prisoners of war in Vietnam, Jehovah's Witnesses); and (e) includes a summary, a list of major concepts, and selected readings for each chapter.
